Too Much Talk

There’s too much talk of winter now
          too much talk of weather
Every scrap of paper    blown outside
          defiles a memory of the forest green
Time for old ones    bent o’er rake and hoe
          to    desperately    conceive another spring
There’s too much talk of winter now

Really enjoyed the reference to the "old ones" hoping for a chance to enjoy another spring, Daver. Cleverly written to evoke a sense of longing for fresher, greener days and lost youth. Excellent one for my favorites! Much love, Carolyn

We got a slight amount of snow yesterday and it is down to 19 degrees here in North Dakota today. I heartily agree with your last line. I love spring and would rather talk of it. Thank you for your kind comment today. Keep on writing! Karen

So let's talk of Spring and the wild running rose that beside my garden grows spiraling upwards to the sunny sky putting on buds that please the eye. Love the topic and the way that you put it together. Keep the magical pen flowing. Sara
